Chapter Six: Captain Kai

Kai woke up early in the morning to find that his blanket was gone. He tried to reach for another one, he had slept on the couch again, but found that all of the other blankets in the room were gone as well. As it was practically time to get up anyway, Kai went to get ready and investigate about the missing blankets. Sneaking in his and the other ninja's room to retrieve his clothes, Kai found the missing blankets-they were piled on top of each ninja. He went to check on the first person closest to him, which happened to be Zane, and found the white ninja burning with fever and shivering uncontrollably.

"They must have taken all the blankets in the night," Kai thought to himself.

Checking on all the others, Kai found them the same way and rushed to get them medicine. As he was doing so, Nya came stumbling out of her room with a blanket wrapped around her, shivering. Kai immediately knew she was not feeling well at all for a few reasons. One, she came out with her pajamas still on and her hair askew, and two, she was as pale as a ghost. Quietly leaving the boy's room, Kai escorted his sister to the couch where he administered her medicine.

"You just rest here, Sis."

"I . . I can't. It's s . . so cold," Nya said through chattering teeth.

"I'm sorry but there's no more blankets."

Nya wrapped herself tighter in her blanket, laid back on the couch, and closed her eyes. The red ninja was about to say something else before he heard a crashing sound.

"What now?" he said mostly to himself.

Getting off the end of the couch, Kai went to investigate. However, it was not a very long investigation as he found Zane sitting on the floor also wrapped up in his blanket like a burrito.

"I appear to have ran into this wall in my sleepy state," Zane said as he stood back up, shaking to the bone, or gears in his case.

"Why don't you go sit on the couch with Nya while I make some tea," Kai said.

After coughing, Zane said, "That sounds like an excellent idea."

When the fire ninja returned from the kitchen with tea, he found the other ninja had also gotten up and were in the same state as Nya and Zane.

"Can't you make it any warmer?" Jay asked.

"Just because I'm the ninja of fire doesn't mean I can make the climate warmer, Jay," Kai said as he passed out the tea.

"Sure you can," Lloyd said, "we do have a flying ship."

"You want me to fly this ship to make you guys warm?" said Kai.

There was a collective "yes" so Kai went to the bridge wondering how on Ninjago he got himself into this position. If he were honest with himself, he was actually not super confident in his Bounty flying skills. Kai normally was not the one to fly it, but he figured there was a first time for everything. Besides, he had seen Nya do it a thousand times; how hard could it be?

Pressing the big, red button, the Bounty rose up into the air and Kai held tight to the wheel so as not to topple over. He quickly realized that this may not have been the best of ideas, but it was too late to turn back now. The flying ship rocked back and forth as it unsteadily lifted off the ground while the unpracticed driver tried his best to avoid the trees.

"If I can just get high enough," Kai said as he lifted up on the wheel, rapidly sending the Bounty straight up into the sky. "Too fast, too fast, too faaaast!" he said as he tried to stop the ship from going up.

Kai was successful, in a way, but instead of going up, the Bounty was now plummeting down. Keeping a death grip on the wheel, he dodged a few trees, and hit a few, before finally going back into the air and steadying the ship. He should have known a flying pirate's ship would be harder to maneuver than his usual motorbike or occasional jet. At least Kai knew just the place to go when you wanted to warm up-the fire temple.

Once up and steady, he could steer much better with only an occasional sway or bump every here and there. Except for when he momentarily lost control for not paying attention on account of getting to cocky and calling himself "Captain Kai".

It was not too long of a flight, about thirty minutes, before the volcano was reached. Now came the other hard part-landing. Slowing the pace down, Kai began his decent, and the lower he got, the more he could feel the warmth being absorbed by his body. Other than a couple tree casualties, the landing went fairly well, or at least Kai thought so. A professional pilot might think otherwise.

"Wait until the others see how I've flown the Bounty," Kai boasted to himself, but thinking of the others, he added, "Oh no, the others!"

Running to the room where the sick were at, the red ninja found them scattered across the room, holding onto whatever objects were closest to them with dear life.

"Have we landed?" Cole said, sounding rather queasy.

Scratching his head, Kai said, "Hehe, yeah sorry about that . . . but we are here."

"Good," Cole replied as he ran out of the room to throw up.

"Alrighty then," Kai said. "Anyone else?"

"Maybe, but I don't think I can-" Nya began but promptly threw up before she could finish or rush to the bathroom.

"Right," Kai said, sighing, "I'll just go and get a mop."

So what do you think of chapter six? I hope you liked it, but if not, I'd be glad to hear why you did not too:) I had a few guesses, but it was indeed Nya and Kai's parents in Kai's story of the previous chapter.
